I'm not too familiar with the shingle Inn, but I did a little research. Originally opening in 1936.. it apparently had to close due to 'inner-city developments in August 2002".... the Queens Plaza development.

Vicki Bridgestock organised a campaign to move all the original interior to the new located in the City Hall.

It seems its one of/or the oldest running restaurants in Brisbane. Pretty nice story behind the Shingle Inn which I didn't know about.. I'll venture out and have a look as I haven't been there.... surely the original holds out better than the new franchises versions? with its authenticity Tudor look?
